Crystal Creek #18: Let's Turn Back the Years

From the back...She purely terrified him--Hank Travis, a poor peanut farmer's son from South Texas, was no match for Miss Mary Margaret MacGregor. Hank had a dream. His future lay in the exploding Texas oil fields. But Mary had a plan. Her future lay with Hank! It was J.T.'s job to immortalize his grandfather's history for Crystal Creek, and for all of Texas, and it would have been a different tale indeed without the formidable Mary!In my Opinion...Hank has been a part of the Crystal Creek series since the very first book. It was great to read about his early years with Mary. Hank was not all that great a husband and father, considering he was always off chasing oil. He did, however, love Mary very much, and she loved him. Mary was a strong independent woman, and she had to be, to put up with Hank. Hank was a force to be reckoned with in the oil business. It was easy to see why he was so successful. It was sad that cranky old grandpa Hank died, but this was a fitting end to his character.
